I've only seen it in the TenderEntry table and the QuoteTenderEntry table.
It looks to me that it only holds the last 4 digits of the card (ie.
XXXXXXXXXXXX9874).

Andrea,

If you set SO Manager | File | Configuration | Options | General Options |
if you check Mask Credit Card numbers, the card number is stored in the
databases like Michael mentioned, the last 4 digits. You will _not_ be able
to un-encrypt the number. M$ has been asked before, but they can't/won't do
it either, so if you need the whole number for _any_ reason, see the option
below or have the card in front of you.

If you uncheck that option but check a similar option in the receipt format,
then the whole card number will be stored in the databases, but only the
last 4 digits will be printed on the receipt. The whole card number will be
viewable in the tenders window of the receipt and on the reports. You can
blank out the field or disable the reports through security settings though.

Round about way to find the credit card number is bringing up the actual
transaction for a void or return and then on the tender screen deleting the
dollar figure and hitting the plus key. It brings up the cc authorization
screen and then number is there.

If you mask the credit card numbers, I believe that tender screen shows the
card number as "XXX...1234", not the whole number...
